Will we ever learn. What does our government think they are doing. When we reject Yisrael we are rejecting G-d. Check out the “One Jerusalem” report on Obama’s stance towards Jerusalem.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!
How can we afford to support such maniacal thinking? Watch the response of Rabbi Chiam to Obama’s Cairo speech and spread the news.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

Prayers that Yeshua (Jesus) would have Prayed (6thst Class)
Yeshua in the Synagogue #6
In this class we continue with the Vahavta. Why is it necessary for us to love G-d with all of our heart? Why does the Biblical command say “le’vvacha” with two vets? This class discusses this problem and deals with confronting the Yetzer hara. What is the theme of the Shema? What does it mean and what is it trying to tell us.

Prayers that Yeshua (Jesus) would have Prayed (5thst Class)
Yeshua in the Synagogue #5
In this class we lay the foundation for just how involved that Yeshua was in the Synagogue service. We look at the book “Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah” as a means for understanding all that happened in the Synagogue that Shabbat morning. We also look at the sources quoted by Alfred Edersheim. Then we begin looking at the “Borchu” call to worship and prayer as it is seen in Biblical cases were Yisrael is called to service.

Program #68 – Genuine Spirituality #11
Spirituality, The Korbanot #2 / קרבנות ב
In this program I continue my series within a series on the Korbanot and their relation to spirituality. I delve deeper into the understanding of the allegorical interpretation of the korbanot found in Vayikra (Leviticus) chapter 1. I first look at the varied levels of Rabbinic Hermeneutics then launch the discussion in to a comparative between Romans Chapter 12 and Leviticus chapter 1. I further elaborate on Shaul’s phrase concerning “living sacrifices” from his letter to the Romans Chapter 12.
